Where did March go?

Um well, March is gone isn't it...that went fast! I'm going to blame it on Eleanor, cause we can do that right?! Blame things on our kids....

The highlight of March was going to St. George with Whit's family. We hit a perfect weekend with the best, and much needed, sun. Some wind which actually kept it feeling just perfect and a happy little girl who seemed to really enjoy her first trip to St. George! 

   

 In the past when we've driven down to St. George, we've always been able to go non-stop and get there pretty fast. Like other things, sweet little Eleanor has made that change for us. Whit's happy, cause now he can have a bathroom break. Babies need to eat and they get a little restless, so we stopped and gave her a bottle, changed into her jammies, and then headed out on the road again. So really it wasn't bad, just different and it did take a longer to get there. But it was so so nice to arrive and simply put her in bed. No need to wake her up and do a treatment, no time spent unpacking all her equipment, we hardly knew what to do with ourselves.

St. George for us is all about walks, pool time, a little shopping, and movie nights. It's so relaxing and we wish we could go every month.

 The first day the wind was a little strong and when wet wasn't super enjoyable. So it was a hang out and read magazines in the sun kind of day...I wasn't complaining!

 We got a good dose of cousin time and had some good giggles!Eleanor is a tough cookie to crack, but Keira was able to do it!

 

 She took some great naps pool side, so adorable!

 With a little less wind, she was much more willing to splash around and explore the water...

and splashing in the face was fun!

 Swimming around the kiddie pool was eh...but it was cute to watch.

 She just likes to stand...what little feet!

So amazingly grateful for this little blessing. Lately I've been so worried about helping her sleep better and focusing on the fact that she's not getting the hang of it. Looking back at these pictures, helps me remember and refocus on the fact that she's so perfect in so many other ways. She can move, and breath and pretty soon eat all on her own just to name the basics!!I'm still getting use to that.  My sweet Eleanor is a healthy baby and I need to relax and embrace the imperfectness in that too! If that makes any sense.... Oh I just love her!!
